[H] Powerline Question
I've been using the Netgear Powerline system for a couple years now with great success. However, I've always only had one device plugged into each adapter. Does anyone know if you can plug a hub or a switch into an adapter and that way have more than one device connected through each adapter? I know Netgear sells something that does this, but I'd love to be able to use a regular old hub/switch than have to buy another $100 device. - Brian

Yeah, I've got switches hanging off of 3 out of 4 powerline ethernet adapters in my current digs. (actually routers, but two have their routing switched off) On 26 Oct 2013 12:35, Brian Weeden brian.wee...@gmail.com wrote: I've been using the Netgear Powerline system for a couple years now with great success.

So just any old switch should do? --- Brian On Oct 26, 2013, at 7:59, James Boswell torazch...@gmail.com wrote: Yeah, I've got switches hanging off of 3 out of 4 powerline ethernet adapters in my current digs.

Re: [H] Powerline Question
Yes, unless something very odd happens. (it's an Asus rt-n66, an rt-n16 (routing off) and a wrt54gl (routing off) here.)
